The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"Are you willing?" Zhao He said. The girl in front of him, who was about two or three years younger than him, was no less cunning than himself. She even thought of threatening him with future cooperation opportunities.

After a moment of silence, Zhao He said, "Okay..."

He was betting whether the girl would still remember his help in the future. Besides, Aunt Mo had also helped the girl a lot. If he wanted to take some of the profits in the future, it should be possible, right?

The main reason is that he has no time to choose at the moment. His third brother wants too much silver. He needs silver to win over ministers, train soldiers privately, hire staff, etc. This workshop and hot pot restaurant are the best ways to get silver at the moment.

Although salt, iron and copper mines can make more money than these, and are also the fastest and most successful way for many princes of previous dynasties to obtain silver, his third brother and he still want to survive. Once this method is discovered by his father and others, they will be doomed.

"That would be the best." Guo Xin smiled.

……

After Guo Ruo changed into suitable clothes, thinking about the legendary noble visit, she decided to make some precious tea and send it to him. She took out a small bag of tea from Guo Xin's cabinet, which was specially used to entertain guests.

He scooped a ladle of dew collected by Guo Xin, boiled it until boiling, poured it into the tea leaves, skimmed off the foam, put it on a plate, and carried it to the outer courtyard.

Pei Yuan did not follow Zhao He into the house. Firstly, there was only one girl and a woman inside. What was the matter with a guard following him in? Were they going to fight or kill? Secondly, he was not interested in these things. It would be more fun to let him go to the battlefield to fight than to let him listen to those calculations.

He waited outside the door with his sword, looking at the short tree in front of the door with boredom and counting how many leaves it had.

Guo Ruo came over slowly with tea in her hand. When she saw Pei Yuan standing outside the door, she instantly tightened her grip on the tea tray. Several blue veins popped out on the back of her fair hands. She clenched her teeth and lowered her eyes slightly, wondering if her makeup was appropriate when she just came out, and if her clothes were eye-catching.

"Pei Yuan?" When he came closer, Guo Ruo pretended to have just noticed him, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Pei Yuan, who had been looking up and counting the leaves, suddenly heard a female voice coming from below. It sounded familiar. He looked down and saw that it was the girl who was bullied in Cixi Town. He asked, "Is it the girl?"

"That's right." Guo Ruo nodded and smiled.

Pei Yuan noticed the tray in her hand, took it and held it in his own hands, saying, "Is this for inside?"

Guo Ruo blushed. She didn't expect Pei Yuan to be so considerate, so she said, "Yes."

Pei Yuan nodded, went in with the tea, and came out after a while.

Pei Yuan looked at Guo Ruo and took the initiative to talk to him, "You have been doing very well recently. It has only been half a year since you set up the stall, and you can buy a two-story house in the downtown area of ​​this prefecture, and all of you are surrounded by your family. It's really amazing."

Guo Ruo lowered his head and said, "This is all thanks to my second sister. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to live in the capital, let alone live the life we ​​have today. Speaking of it, it really feels like a dream."

Pei Yuan listened to the words that seemed a little trance, and comforted him: "This is not a dream, you see these trees, flowers, and houses are real, and the four scenes are real at the same time."

Guo Ruo listened to these comforting words, smiled and said, "By the way, I am very curious about your identity. Why are you following behind Master Liu?"

"As for me, I work behind Sixth Master. I am very strong in martial arts, so I serve as a small guard. And my daily life is really hard. Not only do I have to help run errands, but I also have to protect Sixth Master."

"After all, the powerful always make countless enemies. I have risked my life countless times to save the Sixth Master, and my body is left with countless scars. It was also in this way that I slowly climbed up to my current position from a small guard." Pei Yuan said with a dejected look on his face.

"Also, although Sixth Master values ​​me and makes me his personal bodyguard, my salary has never increased. My mother at home is looking forward to my return home every day. She thinks my current job is too dangerous and the salary is too low. She wants me to go home and enjoy the pleasure of having children and grandchildren. It's a pity that Sixth Master is unwilling to let me go back."

Pei Yuan's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood. He lowered his head and looked very miserable.

Guo Ruo believed it and was about to reach out and pat Pei Yuan when he suddenly realized that the man in front of him was not his brother's wife, but a stranger who was a head taller than him, and also his benefactor.

He silently retracted his outstretched hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, at least your parents are still alive. If you want to go back, just ask for leave from Sixth Master and you can go back. I don't think he will make things difficult for you."

Pei Yuan nodded and said, "I just hope that Sixth Master can be safe and sound. This way, I will have less trouble and won't have to pay the price of my life to protect him."

After that, he smiled again and said, "After all, my life is valuable! I want to go to the battlefield and fight to defend my country. How can I waste my life on protecting a master? What I want to protect are the people of my Great Zhao Dynasty, millions of us."

Guo Ruo looked at the man in front of her. Although his appearance was not stunning, he was handsome. Pei Yuan said these words jokingly at this moment. He seemed to be ignorant of the world like a teenager, but he was extremely attractive, and his whole body exuded light.

The love in my heart grew even stronger.

At that moment, she didn't know how to answer Pei Yuan. After a while, she said, "I see they are still recruiting soldiers during this period. Why don't you give it a try?"

Pei Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "I can't leave my master for the time being. If I leave, I'm afraid he will soon be in danger of death. What will he do without me, his loyal lackey?"

Guo Ruo asked: "So you have to give up your dream? Defending the country and getting rid of harm for the people should be every man's dream, right?"

The same was true of her younger brother. Guo Xi mentioned this sentence at home more than once, and he kept saying every day that he hoped to be a good official and benefit the people. This idea gradually influenced her.

"You can't say that I'm giving up my dream, right? I'm just waiting for the right opportunity to realize my dream." Pei Yuan said. Originally, he would not mention these things to anyone, even if the words were half true and half false. But for some reason, the woman in front of him made him speak out his true feelings unconsciously.

Guo Ruo looked at the man in front of him and suddenly remembered that when he was setting up a stall in Cixi Town, the fortune teller said that Pei Yuan might encounter a big thing in the future. Unless he met a noble person to help him, he would not be able to escape death. So he said: "No matter what, you'd better be careful. Life is the most precious."
